Whoa! Don't open the Perl interpreter.

At the c:\perl prompt, type perl hello.pl.

Type set. If c:\perl is in the search path, you can type "perl
hello.pl" from any location in the directory tree.

If its not in the search path, you can add Perl to the search path.

Either edit the existing path statement, or add one below it with like
this: PATH=%PATH%;C:\perl  in the autoexec.bat.

Viola! Perl Does Windows! Or should I say Perl Does DOS 7. Or is it DOS
8, in ME?
